    TIY Charleston

    I found the course to be challenging and rewarding. Travis is an excellent instructor, and the teaching assistants were invaluable. This is a completely different pace compared to undergraduate studies, so don't expect to have much free time. Every day you spend at the Iron Yard is an investment in your future, so take full advantage of the tools they provide.

    TIY Austin

    The Iron Yard has made my dream of becoming a web designer possible! When I first came upon The Iron Yard, I was blown away by how authentic and nice everyone was. I understand that the staff at every coding bootcamp are supposed to be nice to you. After all, they want your business. But, it was different at The Iron Yard Austin. They really care about your journey and progress from start to finish. I graduated from the user interface design course three months ago. Three months later, Kar...

    TIY Indianapolis

    I have recently graduated from The Iron Yard in Indianapolis and I personally really enjoyed my experience. I was lucky to have wonderful classmates with me in my cohort that helped push me and motivate me to work harder and harder each day. The instructor was also nothing short of amazing and I learned more than I ever thought I would from him. Also the staff was always very supportive and easily reachable.

    Austin TIY from 0 to hero!!

    My experience at Austin TIY was nothing short of exceptional. If you are even considering attending TIY or even just a career in coding. I suggest you attend TIY crash courses. It's a great way to make sure you will like the teaching style and if TIY is a good fit for you, also they are FREE!!  

    I can not applaud the staff enough, the professors are very knowledgeable and share great insight with their job experience. They are very c...

    Front-end Developer

    I found this course extemely challenging in a way that showed me abilities that I forgot I had possessed.  They lived up to their word and never made a promise that they did not keep.  I feel prepared to tackle the job market with confidence and skill.  I am sincerely appreciative for all of their help and support.

    TIY Charleston 2017

    I had a phenomenal experience with The Iron Yard Charleston. There are a couple of things to keep in mind:

    • You must do the pre-work and take it very seriously. It is immeasurably important that when doing the pre-work you do not only do the assignments but also make an effort to explore the concepts on your own and come up with applications for the concepts you're learning on your own. You will not learn these concepts by just completing the assi...

    Not Worth The Money

    Terrible experience,  I should have known because when I toured the campus, it sounds like you are about to fall through the raggedy wood floors. Also, when I took my assessment, their website crashed and said “ 500 error That means we can’t find what you are looking for or there is a BLUNDER IN OUR CODE” . How are you going to teach me to build a good website and your site crashed due to bad code?  This school is not worth the money, check out comparable schools in the area like Thinkful ...

    4 months and no job

    It went fast, as in time flew by. Alot of my classmates are also jobless after 4 months of graduation and the school director just quit to exacerbate the issue. They do have decent wifi and the salvation army is across the street so you can have an idea of where you might be afterwards: jobless. And a huge debt to pay afterwards. Sounds kinda like what an orange guy with a red tie has been saying for the last 10 months. This is mostly negative but it is the truth for mo...

    Endurance is key

    My experience at TIY has been exhausting, as expected. We learn new concepts every day and constantly apply our knowledge to homework assignments and projects. A lot of outside-the-box thinking is required [insert CSS joke here] which is preparing us for the wild world of web development. After a few weeks, you'll start to think of everyday situations like grocery shopping or yard work as a human compiler. Just hang on and focus on learning and applying what you've learned. Try not to wast...

    TIY Atlanta Experience

    I was part of The Iron Yard Atlanta's November 2016 Java Back-End Class. I had an excellent experience at the Iron Yard. The instructors are passionate and engaged in the field of technology. They are very much NOT just 9-5 instructors; they are generally available on Slack (communication/messaging tool) over the weekends and in the evenings. On one occasion my instructor and I stayed on campus until 9pm working on getting a JQuery plugin up and running. Even instructors teaching other cla...

    Bootcamp Review of Week One

    My first week of the front-end coding at The Iron Yard campus in Salt Lake City has been exciting and fast paced. The week was full of discussions, laughs, new challenges and getting to know some of my fellow cohorts better.

    The lessons presented thus far by Sean Duncan, our course instructor, have been enlightening and well focused. I must commend him on his ability to switch gears between presenting his lecture, answering all our questions and making the conc...

    Instructor was out for a week with no make up days

     

    Over all:

    I really learned a lot. It was an exhausting experience, but I now have an app on the app store, which is really exciting.
